I'm pretty sure Marner started off the year in the middle of the ice on the PP but then was moved back to the halfwall after only a few games. That's how I remember it, I very well could be wrong though. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Marner in the bumper on PP1 bcuz let's be honest he's never going to get taken off PP1. With two shooting threats on the half wall in Nylander and Matthews, Marner's creativity and playmaking in the middle could be very useful in a tight area that the bumper spot on the PP plays in. The only shooting he would do would be point blank one timers from the low slot when the net front guy sneaks out to the near post and receives a pass and one touches it to the guy in the bumper, which Marner can handle, he's not really a shooting threat on the halfwall at all, but he is from the low slot. Being able to create offence from the bumper on the PP is super effective as it forces a tighter PK formation, which means more space for the shooters on the halfwall.

Help

Max Domi has 4 goals in his last 4 games, 6 pts in his last 5. #CBJ

Haven't made fun of the Kraken in a while
They picked Gavin Bayreuther over Max Domi

Who

Some depth guy who ended up signing back with the jackets

Francis strikes again

Domi on the Kraken would have been so good for them but they chose to go with a AHL depth guy over him

That draft was terrible for the kraken

They robbed some teams and let other teams get a pass during the draft

I enjoy their suffering lul

Me too I’m not a fan of that team at all. But to be fair I hate every team that isn’t the caps and maybe the leafs but slightly

Oh you mean ***Olympian Athlete Thomas Chabot

Understatement.

Although I think GMs learned from Vegas not got getting robbed in all four pockets. Doesn't excuse some of the baffling picks Francis made.

I agree, there is no chance Marner comes off PP1. Most likely they load it back up. But it’s hard to not look at the success they are having right now, like even when they don’t score they look super dangerous. But that’s why I’m just an ACGM

Imagine just a hypothetical

Dubas gets Kane for double retention

PP unit 1

Nylander-Tavares-Matthews
Rielly-Kase

Unit 2

Kane-Bunting-Marner
Sandin-Spezza

Or something along those lines as then unit 2 becomes even scarier than it is rn and we get some balance

Heck do what the Oilers do and rotate Nylander and Kase for Kane and Marner and go with

Kane-Tavares-Matthews
Rielly-Marner as the sub unit 1

So a handful of Sharks fans may have said this before (I definitely stopped believing it and you know what I was wrong)(maybe someone like @FunMustBeAlways) if the Sharks give up on Noah Gregor they are gonna regret it

This guy could be so good.

If I’m alone in this that’s fine, I don’t want Kane anywhere near the Leafs. Let some other team deal with him.

The #SJSharks were patient with Noah Gregor's development and now it seems to be paying off. Gregor looks to cement himself as a full-time NHLer this seasonListen below ⬇️⬇️⬇️🎧 --> https://t.co/Due4KGC8oz#SJSharks | #THPN | #HockeyTwitter | #DraftKings - Promo Code THPN pic.twitter.com/ALjee6hOk3

🤔👌

100% agree, they look much more dangerous rn. It's just a question if that is because Kase is there? Or is it because they have two shooting threats on the halfwall with Nylander replacing Marner? To me, if it ain't broke don't fix it, so I would leave it as is, but it's inevitable Marner will be back on PP1, fingers crossed in the middle.

Even with Spezza there, who has a ridiculous shot, super dangerous. Again I’m with, no chance he comes off but at least if things go south in the playoffs you know you can have another unit to go to

COVID can’t stop Bruce Boudreau from winning
Teams are seriously losing to a d core of: Poolman, Myers, Juulsen, and Burroughs

I was really rooting for you guys today.

Well Domi was supposed to be out for some time to start the year but was suddenly healthy on day 1 pretty much

Bobcat’s Post Game Notes, Game 26

Jackets lose 4-3 against the Vancouver Canucks.

-Lines are getting more consistent, and consistency is something i like, but the team’s consistently putting out the lines that I don’t like. #FreeYegor.

-WE BLEW A 3-0 LEAD. TO THE GODDAMN CANUCKS. Pain.

-Jake Bean had a chance to win it for us, he had Halak dead to rights, and he HIT THE POST. The upright giveth, and the upright taketh away.

-In 14 of the last 14 road games, we’ve given up more than 3 goals. Those defensive prospects can’t come soon enough.

-I’ve seen some people put the blame on Lars for this crappy performance, and I can’t say i agree fully. He’s playing a bunch of dead wood (*cough* Danforth *cough* ) instead of the actual assets we have. On the other hand, the PLAYERS are the ones that let their foot off the gas at the end and blew the lead. Once Patty gets back into the lineup, I’d say to send down Danforth (PLEASE, Lars) and put Chinakhov in at 2LW.

Laine - Jenner - Bjorkstrand
Chinakhov -Sillinger - Voracek
Domi - Roslovic - Nyquist
Robinson - Kuraly - Texier

It does come at the expense of scratching Greg, but you can’t please everyone.

And this isn't even the first time they've spilled sewage on fans this year. I'm glad I chose to be a Bills fan (back when they had Kyle Orton), instead of supporting Dan Snyder and his horror show.

Behold, likely the only Washington fan happy to watch a game in FedEx Field.

Any team would love to have him as a goalie coach.
